Lliga: UD Almería - FC Barcelona 1-2

[Kohe321]

Another horrible game tactically by Lucho, we were completely overrun at times. Struggling to keep control against Almeria... passes were just chaotic, no triangles and no control.

The fact that it went better late in the game when Suarez and Neymar came and started to catch rhythm is not Enriques work. They were basically playing tactiless improv-football together, and still owning. Which makes me wonder how great Messi, Neymar and Suarez could be together under a top coach, with great tactics in the entire field.

Lucho needs to go. Who should replace him? Let Xavi become a playing coach if need be, I just can't stand this noob anymore, he's just not good at all.

You have too much faith in this board. They have no option. It'll be Lucho until the end. Another season thrown away.

Pretty much. I wonder whether Lucho battling it out with the press will have any (desirable) effect on the press's reflection on the board though. Martino was easier to be picked upon because he wasn't really seen as unisono with the board, at all, while Lucho is, from what I've seen, perceived to be closer to them.

Anyway, for now I'm just glad that the embarrassment was avoided. I don't even know whether Lucho is just too inept tactically to get anything out of the team, as in some games he has made some good adjustments (not today where it was mostly down to individual play, and then I don't know whether some of his good adjusments eg against Ajax are made on purpose), or whether he's just cutting his own flesh by trying to be stern and reckless on purpose and for the sake of it. His whole attitude is more illusion than reality.

Never thought we were gonna miss Tata immediatly after he left the club

Yeah. The thing is that last season Messi and Neymar missed half a season each and we blamed the inevitably bad outcome on Tata. Should have given him another season.

Maybe we should just accept the mediocrity and wait for 2016 and the changes that come with it, having high hopes and suffering is pointless when nothing will change right? We wont win a cl and la liga seems difficult as well, like being back in the early 00's or 08.

This is the beauty of perspective. Some people see a stickyman that look like sh*t , other people just see sh*t and then you have people who just see barcelona playing.

The first half was a new low. Lucho gets bailed out again by the players.

Sack him NOW!

And try to get Jupp Heynckes out of retirement until next season.

Or maybe the team will improve and we will be celebrating a fifth by the end of the season.

If the draw goes a bit in our favor, you never know.

With Lucho as coach? Only if a miracle occurs.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

I have gotten used to Montoya sitting on the bench and frankly, it's already an improvement for him considering Douglas will watch from the stands. I'm happy about Alves being benched more than I am sad about Montoya not starting. And again, Neymar has played a lot so he needed a rest, and Suárez just hasn't performed, so if you want a line-up based on merit, he shouldn't be in it, even if he needs playing time (which he's getting plenty of, mind you - after he came back from suspension, he played all 3 games in a row).



Usually yes, but right now I disagree. Even the current, lacklustre Pedro offers better link-up play than Suárez at the moment.

Congrats! Two year out of form pedro over suarez? You right!

5 points
1. bartra can't run
2. rakitic needs more time and we went from best midfield in the world to no midfield.
3. Messi is not the same and probably never will be again.
4. Lucho's tactics are not working and who knows it they ever will.
5.board is wasting everyone's time. It is evident that they destroyed best team in the world and no one is going to reelect Barto. Re-election now!

Yes, sack him, there is just nothing there, nothing. No plan, no authority, no cleverness, no nothing.

If we had a euro for everytime we hit the post, we’d solve Spain’s every financial problem, I swear

 

[Neymartinez]

This can´t continue. We have Valencia,Sevilla and PSG matches just round the corner! Lucho OUT!
